Hi all, I have the intention of working on Slurm, modifying it to satisfy my needs and (hopefully) include some new functionalities. I am however kind of newbie with this kind of software development, so I am writing looking for advise. My question is, can you recommend me any tools for the development of slurm?
As a first layer, my idea is to use plain virtual machines and employ Puppet to configure them and then install MPICH and BLCR. Then, Jenkins would install and configure a Slurm-based cluster and run a set of tests. I am however new in using both tools and in developing Slurm, so I am kind of lost right now. then, before starting to build and configure all this, I would really appreciate some suggestions from more experienced developers. I have planned to clone Slurm github repo to work with my own github, and then employ Jenkins for Continuous Integration. I have some doubts on how to exactly do that, in particular regarding the contextualization of the compilation process, and the integration of the included regression tests with Jenkins. Have you got any suggestions on this? Again, any feedback on the best tools to work with Slurm would be welcome. Thanks for your help. Best regards, Manuel
